A solid metal rod 1.5m long is free to pivot without friction about a fixed horizontal axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one of its ends. The rod is held in a horizontal position. Small coins, each of mass "m", are placed on the rod 25cm, 50cm, 75cm, 1m, 1.25m, and 1.5m from the pivot. If the free end is now released, calculate the initial force exerted on each coin by the rod. Assume that the masses of the coins can be ignored in comparison to the mass of the rod.

A rigid rod (mass = 3 kg, L=1.5m) is free to rotate on a frictionless pivot (see diagram). If the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position shown with point A at the free end of the rod, (a) What is the linear acceleration of point A when the rod is first released? (b) What is the angular velocity of point A when it reaches the position indicated by the dashed line?

A uniform, 0.0350 kg rod of length 0.450 m rotates in a horizontal plane about a fixed axis through its center and perpendicular to the rod. Two small rings, each with mass 0.0200 kg, are mounted so that they can slide without friction along the rod. They are initially held by catches at positions 0.0550 m on each side of the center of the rod, and the system is rotating at 48.0 rev/min. With no other changes in the system,...

A 3.00-kg rod that is 2.60 m long is free to rotate in a vertical plane about an axle that runs through the rod's center, is perpendicular to the rod's length, and runs parallel to the floor. A 1.00-kg block is attached to one end of the rod, and a 2.00-kg block is attached to the other end. At some instant, the rod makes an angle of 31.0 ? with the horizontal so that the blocks are in the positions...

A 3.00-kg rod that is 1.40 m long is free to rotate in a vertical plane about an axle that runs through the rod's center, is perpendicular to the rod's length, and runs parallel to the floor. A 1.00-kg block is attached to one end of the rod, and a 2.00-kg block is attached to the other end. At some instant, the rod makes an angle of 37.0 ? with the horizontal so that the blocks are in the positions...
